Abstract This chapter discusses about the role of membrane processes, namely, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis in the field of bioprocess engineering. Membrane processes are widely accepted and used techniques in separation and filtration applications because of their unique and beneficial properties, such as low cost, environment friendliness, ease to scale up, ease to integrate with other processes, and compactness. Therefore, their use and implementation in various fields of bioprocess engineering helps in saving a lot of energy and resources. The basic concept and fundamentals along with the classification of different types of membranes and membrane systems are explained with suitable examples. The important applications of membrane technology in various fields of bioprocess engineering, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, are also discussed along with their advantages over other conventional separation techniques. The main applications where membrane processes proved their worth are virus purification, sterilization of heat labile products, concentration of food and dairy products, separation and filtration of racemic and azeotropic mixtures, fruit juice clarification, and beer and wine production. Hence, this chapter provides complete details about the importance, applications, and benefits of membrane technology in the field of bioprocess engineering.
